Hello, my friends!
Today I have a card for you featuring some of my favorite flowers. I absolutely love Hydrangeas, especially the colored ones. This card features the HYDRANGEA ETCHED DIES from the Nature's Botanical Garden Collection by Susan Tierney-Cockburn.
CARD RECIPE
WREATH:
- Die-cut the leaves using the HYDRANGEA ETCHED DIES.
- Ink blend the leaves, adding extra shading to the center with a detailed brush.
- Gently bend the leaves at the center.
- Using Circle Dies, die cut a frame to adhere the leaves to, covering it completely with the leaves.
FLOWERS:
- Die-cut the flowers using the HYDRANGEA ETCHED DIES. For this project, I used the 2 smaller flower bases to glue the flowers to.
- Add color to the die cuts by ink blending colors of your choice. For the centers, add additional ink using a detail blending brush. Color the backgrounds of the flowers in the same color as the hydrangeas.
- To create dimension, lay each flower on a foam pad and press the center with a ball stylus or tool small enough to press in the center.
- Glue flowers onto the flower bases and allow them to completely dry.
- Once dry, add a drop of glue to each center, place a pearl into the wet glue, and let it dry.
SENTIMENT:
- I had previously foiled this sentiment and saved it from a previous project. Unfortunately, it is no longer available, but it can easily be substituted with any other foiled sentiment or die.
- Use Polished Brass Glimmer Foil along with the Hot Foil System to create the sentiment.
ASSEMBLY:
- On a square card base (this one measures 5 inches), glue the leaves layer.
- Add foam to the back of the sentiment strip and center it in the wreath.
- Glue the hydrangea bunches in place covering up the sentiment strip ends, and use foam for added height.
I hope you enjoyed today’s Hydrangea Wreath Card tutorial. A creation as special as this deserves to be gifted to someone who will truly appreciate the craftsmanship and love put into it.
Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!
